Joint Revision
As the region’s most preferred orthopedic practice, OrthoArizona has a team of joint revision doctors who are exceptional experts and leaders in hip, knee, and shoulder joint care.
Joint replacement surgeries are often highly successful in restoring mobility and relieving pain. However, in some cases, patients may experience complications or the need for revision surgery due to various factors, such as wear and tear, implant loosening, infection, or implant failure over time.
You may need to consult with a joint revision surgeon for a thorough evaluation of your joint replacement and any associated issues. A joint revision doctor specializes in finding the causes of your symptoms and providing appropriate treatment options tailored to your individual needs.
When Is It Time to Seek Care From an Expert?
Recognizing the right time to seek expert care for joint revision can be hard. Consider scheduling a consultation with our doctors if you experience any of the following symptoms:
- Grinding or clicking sensations in the joint
- Instability or weakness in the replaced joint
- Limited range of motion or difficulty bearing weight on the affected joint
- Persistent joint pain, stiffness, or swelling after joint replacement surgery
- Significant impact on your quality of life and daily activities
- Signs of infection, such as fever, redness, warmth, or drainage from the surgical site
- Visible deformity or misalignment of the joint implant
When it comes to joint revision, you need to make sure you find the specialist you have confidence in. Our team of joint revision doctors possesses extensive training and experience in diagnosing and treating various complications associated with joint replacement surgeries, including:
- Component failure
- Implant loosening or wear
- Implant malalignment or instability
- Infection
- Joint dislocation
- Periprosthetic fractures
Our joint revision doctors offer a comprehensive range of treatments aimed at addressing complications related to joint replacement surgeries and restoring function to the affected joint. These may include:
- Bone grafting or bone augmentation procedures
- Implant revision or replacement surgery
- Infection management, including antibiotics and surgical debridement
- Joint fusion or arthrodesis
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Soft tissue and ligament repair or reconstruction
